Iran’s state media reported explosions in central Isfahan, following Israel’s retaliatory strikes in response to Iranian missile attacks on Israel. Air defense systems were activated in multiple Iranian cities. Explosions near Isfahan’s Shekari army airbase were confirmed by Iran’s Fars news agency, with several drones shot down. Nuclear facilities were reported secure. ABC and CBS News attributed the strikes to Israel, quoting US officials. No immediate response came from the White House or Pentagon. Flights were suspended across Iran. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warned of escalating tensions in the Middle East, urging restraint to prevent a devastating regional conflict. Oil prices surged over three percent in response.
